CHAMPIONSHIPS 2013

The sunny conditions in the morning at Dyke Golf Club did not last long in the afternoon when mist came down and the mens' event was shortened to only 27 holes.

After 27, 2 players in the mens' event (Simon Tiplady of Brighton & Hove and Arwel Roberts of Dyke) were tied on score of 112 ----- a play-off was not possible due to low cloud. In a very sportsmanlike manner Arwel volunteered that Simon should be declared Society Champion due to his better nett score. Well done Arwel, and congratulations to Simon.

The ladies' Section did manage all 36 holes with SOPHIE KENNARD (Dyke GC) winning with score of 159 from Wendy Francis (East Btn).
